West Delhi residents headed for Dhaula Kuan from Janakpuri will now have easy time,with the traffic police planning to add another lane for cars and two-wheelers by barricading a portion of the other carriageway.
We had received a lot of complaints about recurrent traffic jams on this stretch,so we felt that West Delhi residents heading towards NH-8 require more vehicle space, said Joint Commissioner,Traffic,S N Shrivastava.
The West Delhi commuter,instead of the three-lane carriageway,will now have four-lane space. The method,called contraflow,has been successfully used by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation on NH-8,for vehicular flow towards Gurgaon till the construction of the airport line is completed.
The barricading will be put up only from 8 to 11am. The traffic police are not planning to reverse it towards the other side during evening for the present. We will wait to see whether the plans works out, Shrivastava added.
